Application filed January 22, 131 serial 215e, -3 '2 To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Anrnso V. SUonY, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing in Niagara Falls, New York, have invented certain Improvements in Bleaclr Chambers, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to so construct a bleach chamber, such as that employed in the preparation of chlorid of lime or bleaching powder, as to provide in a simple and inexpensive Way for the' cooling of the floors-of the chambers upon which thelime is deposited for the action of the chlorin gas. This object I attain in the mannerhereinafter set forth, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a partial transverse section of a bleach chamber structure constructed in accordance with my invention, and Fig. 2 is a partial longitudinal section of the same.

The roof and floors of my improved bleach chamber structure are composed of concrete formed with suitable stiffening girders and mounted upon suitable columns, and the outer walls may also be composed either wholly of concrete or of concrete and brick, as desired. The structure which I have shown in the drawing has four compart-' ments 1, 2, 3, and i, but my invention is shown only as applied to the intermediatecompartments 2 and 3 and consists in constructing these compartments with a double floor having transverse partitionsfi between the upper and lower members of theiioor so as'to properly stiffen the upper member, and with troughs 6 communicating with the ends of. the spaces between the top and bottom members of the floors so that a body of water or other cooling fluid can be maintamed in or caused to flow through said Specification of Letters letcnt spaces in order to ti with troughs at the en" I -e 1 V .HltO said aneywe the floor at the rel it which is desirable. The compartments 5?: and walls 2 of brick or other from end gangways 8 J also subdivided b y means of which the sub-divisions are r 10, the troughs 6 pio iecti ways as shown in chambers may also f to chlcrin by an inter so; or in any the a rays 0. ram 5 i: that purpose.

' When it desired cause of the cooling fluid throi' c the floors said fluid .nay he witlnirz the trough at one end oft-the iloor a supply is introdnced into the other end of the floor;

I claim:
